Title: Multilayer flexible PCB for use with aero turbine engines with different impedance tracks and lightning strike survivability
Inventor: WATKISS JASON
IPC: H05K1/02
Filed: 2012-10-24
Abstract: A gas turbine engine has an electrical harness formed from a flexible printed circuit board which provides a plurality of spaced conductive tracks. The conductive tracks are grouped into plural layers of tracks, the track layers being spaced apart and extending substantially parallel to each other. The tracks of each track layer form respective circuits which all have impedances lying within a respective range for that track layer. The impedances ranges are non-overlapping. The highest voltage differentials between tracks produced during indirect lightning strikes will thus tend to be between tracks of different track layers rather than between tracks of the same track layer.

Title: Identifying an emission signature in a first model of an ambient electromagnetic spectrum by comparing to a second model known to contain the signature
Inventor: JACOB SURESH GEORGE
IPC: G01V3/12
Filed: 2013-01-10
Abstract: Identifying an emission signature in a first model of an ambient electromagnetic spectrum by comparing to a second model known to contain the signature In the field of emission detection, there is provided a method of identifying the presence of an emission signature. The method comprises forming a first model of the ambient electromagnetic spectrum by adapting coefficients of an adaptive filter so that the impulse response of the adaptive filter resembles the ambient electromagnetic spectrum as closely as possible. The first model of the ambient electromagnetic spectrum is compared to a second model of the ambient electromagnetic spectrum that was formed when the ambient electromagnetic spectrum was known to contain the emission signature. If the first and second model is sufficiently similar, it is determined that the signature is present in the first. The deployment of a change point algorithm in comparing the first and second models may be used to quickly identify such emissions. In a second aspect of the invention the deployment of devices using the method allows the location of signals to be geo-located. The invention is primarily used for detecting specific emitters, such as those worn by personnel operating in avalanche or earthquake zones that produce signals that are known.

Title: Selecting either base level or further level stack when processing data in current further level exception state above base level
Inventor: GRISENTHWAITE RICHARD ROY
IPC: G06F9/30
Filed: 2010-03-15
Abstract: Data is processed in one of a plurality of exception states including a base level exception state EL0 and at least one further level exception state ELx (x>=1). Each exception state has a corresponding stack pointer SP0, SPx. A stack pointer selection instruction modifies a stack pointer selection value SPSel stored in a stack pointer selection register to indicate, as a current stack pointer, one of a base level stack pointer SP0 and a current further level stack pointer SPx. This value controls whether the current stack pointer is the base level stack pointer or the current further level stack pointer. Each base/further level stack pointer is stored in a respective base/further level stack pointer register and indicates the location within memory of a respective base/further level stack data store. Thus the current stack pointer indicates, when processing data in a current further level exception state, which stack should be used. The stack pointer selection instruction may comprise a field specifying the stack pointer selection register and/or an immediate value of the stack pointer selection value (fig. 4). The instruction execution environment may be implemented as a virtual machine (fig. 10).

Abstract: [Problem] To effectively monitor the inside of a train by means of a monitoring system. [Solution] Persons present inside a carriage are detected on the basis of image data captured by monitoring cameras (111 to 114) or image data recorded in a recording device, and carriage occupancy (A) is determined by detecting the extent to which those persons occupy the carriage as a percentage. Furthermore, the number of persons getting on and off the carriage is measured on the basis of the image data captured by the monitoring cameras (111 to 114) or the image data recorded in the recording device, and carriage occupancy (B) is measured in accordance with the number of persons currently in the carriage against the maximum possible number or passengers. A highly accurate carriage occupancy is determined by taking an average value and so on from the carriage occupancies calculated by these two methods.
